Friday, 20 July 2018: 08:30-10:20
Location: 716B (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)

RC28 Social Stratification (host committee)

Language: English


This session invites papers that explore the significance of educational fields for social stratification and inequalities (social, as well as gendered and ethnic inequalities). Both studies of differentiated patterns and motives for choices of educational fields, and studies of consequences of such choices (e.g. on the labour market) are welcome. Both empirical and theoretical explorations are of interest.
